About Rad Parents
Hi, I’m Claire! I’m a perinatal counsellor, parenting cheerleader and mother. I’ve worked with hundreds of parents struggling in silence and it’s my mission to make early parenthood way more fun and way less sh*t.
I understand how it feels to doubt yourself, as a parent, and to struggle mentally, feeling like you’ve lost yourself. I’ve been there too.
Through compassionate counselling or birth debriefing, I can help you work through the ups and downs of life as a parent, and find heaps more confidence and self-compassion.
I also run an epic postpartum preparation and support program called Beyond Birth, and offer evidence-based, holistic parenting support once your little one arrives.
I believe parenting is too difficult and too beautiful to do alone. I’d be honoured to be part of your village of support.

Beyond Birth Program
Every day, I speak to parents who tell me they wish they'd known how to prepare for postpartum. This is why I created Beyond Birth.
It's an incredibly comprehensive postpartum preparation and support program, and it's perfect for you if you're bringing home a baby for the very first time.
It's my hope that by joining the program, you'll have the most supported and nourishing postpartum period possible.
I'm offering 5 spots for the pilot round.

Jamu Postnatal Massage: The Nurturing Tradition Every New Mother Should Experience For Deep Recovery
This is truly special to witness; it's a real privilege. As I’m within the sanctuary of the family's home for up to 4 weeks, you subtly and gratefully become part of the furniture, quietly and respectfully. So as the days pass through this ancient lineage of care, you see things shift physically, which is pure biology to me, but also her smile changes as you walk through the door, her eyes are more vibrant and her skin colour changes
